DMV Services and Expired Licenses and Registrations
What is the latest news from the DMV about online services and expired licenses and vehicle registration?
Grace period in effect to Oct. 1:
A law enforcement grace period on expired licenses and vehicle registration is in effect at least through Oct. 1. The grace period is intended to allow Oregon residents to continue driving while waiting for an appointment or allow some people to delay visiting DMV while it works through the backlog due to COVID-19 restrictions. Law enforcement can verify the status of a driver or vehicle electronically during a traffic stop.
The coronavirus has impacted many of the services we are used to accessing in person, including the DMV. Starting today, a host of online services are available at DMV2U, enabling Oregonians to handle more of their DMV business from home. Now customers can:
- Schedule a DMV appointment
- Replace a lost, mutilated or stolen license/ID card
- Upload a commercial driver medical examiner certificate
- Order a driving record
- Pay a reinstatement fee
- Begin a driver license or identification card application for an initial issuance
See all the services DMV offers online at www.oregondmv.com/dmv2u.
If a service can be accomplished by mail or online, DMV is requiring customers to use those avenues at this time. Find information and instructions for how to complete common transactions like titling and registering a vehicle in Oregon at www.OregonDMV.com. DMV does not charge any service fees for online forms or use of their online services. Please make sure you are on the official Oregon DMV webpage.
